Live Webcast: Cardiac Catheterization, Angioplasty & Stent

[Sherri119]

I had this done this week. It literally saved my life. It's not painful. For those that are going to have this done, please put your mind at ease. It's not a horrible or even scary thing. You feel so good afterwards too. You have energy you didn't know you'd had....because it'd been slowly drained from you as your artery has slowly closed. This procedure is heaven sent. I am so thankful for it and for my fantastic doctor.

@Sherri119 why was you put to this procedure, i mean what was your diagnostic?

[sclogse1]

NIce that the artery tolerates this stretch. Of course, one wonders why it doesn't stretch with all that blood pressure without the stent...now, if there is some heart damage, one wonders just what proteins, enzymes, etc. would be good to be eating to help rebuild the heart, or course with exercise, etc. One also wonders what keeps the stent in position...once again, with all that blood pressure....Plus one more thing...what about the time that the balloon cuts off the flow?

This procedure is heaven sent. There is no pain, just some sornes after its over. I have had this procedure done seven times. Its keeping me here. God bless the men and weman who do this procedure for a living.

[pmorriso13]

I just had mine yesterday! It was awesome!!! The dye felt good cuz the table was cold. I had mine done age 23...i was surrounded by older people all around me. I didnt need a stent though I was clean. The clamp is a doozie afterwards tho.

Its a magic operation, I had it done a year ago tomorrow and felt better on the way back to bed. God bless all at Broad green hospital in Liverpool England you are all bloody marvelous

[cartrouble123]

hi there just watched the vid doing the angioplasty and stent it was intresting but i'm still shiting myself about it, i read youre comment and you said you felt better..did you take long to recover ? thanks mate

[adrianbarratt]

I honestly felt better going back to the bed in the chair and I was back at work (service engineer)in 7 weeks. The only thing I didnt like was the wristband they put on you to stop any bleeding after and its blown up wth air that aches quite a bit but comes off 4-8 hours + I was home next day.

[adrianbarratt]

bit tired for a couple of days, but really if I was you look forward to it ,I met loads since who have had it done and no one had a bad time Good luck Adie
